Is there a way to build a quick simple map from CSV like geopandas or plotly?

Question

Is there a way to build a quick simple map from CSV like geopandas or plotly?  The code is like 2-3 lines in plotly but arcpy it seems like I am forced to build a Pro Project and all of that.

I don't want to use plotly since I am trying to avoid adding more packages vs the built in.  I was hoping I could just make a XY Event layer, add a basemap, and done.

thanks a lot

Would Mapbox work? This is what I include in automated emails to plot points on a Mapbox street basemap in the email body via Python. (replace the TOKEN with your API Mapbox TOKEN) EmailBody += " Map of Ticket Location:
" EmailBody += r'''

Can we assume that you don't want to use Jupyter Notebooks and the arcgis api? ( 4. Explore Interactive Mapping Options!)

then there is the probably installed matplotlib options
